D ental caries almost never kills anyone but it certainly causes pain and treatment is expensive. Loesche1 has pointed out that in the USA, the annual cost of treat­ ing dental caries was about 10 billion dollars in 1977, an amount that had increased to 22 billion dollars by 1984 and 29 billion dollars by 1988.2 Incredibly, this cost was only for the approximately 50% of people who consulted a ...

This paper, which is one chapter of a larger study, focuses on the development of a theory of the conditions of political arousal and quiescence of the poor, with particular attention to race riots in American cities. The research is intended to enlarge and refine our knowledge of the-expressive meanings for particular publics of public policies, language forms, political and governmental gestu...

In 1985, approximately 1.0 million black Americans had known diabetes–a rate of 35.9 per 1,000 population. Com­ pared with 22 years ago, these 1985 estimates represent a sub stantial increase in both the number and the rate of black Americans with known diabetes. In 1963, only an estimated 228,000 black individuals had known diabetes, representing a rate of 11.7 known diabetics per 1,000 popula...

Female American kestrels, Falco sparverius, were given the opportunity to choose between two males differing with respect to relatedness and nestling experience . Females did not discriminate against sibling males when choosing mates . Male display activity (number of nestbox inspections) was recorded and significantly more females chose the most active male . American kestrels suffer high year...

studies have employed phonological processing tasks and have clearly demonstrated that poor phonological skills are a hallmark of developmental dyslexia. While these failures in phonological processing are commonly invoked as causal factors in developmental reading failGuinevere F. Eden* and Thomas A.

Bullying, aggression, and peer victimization among adolescents are significant public health concerns. Recent research has demonstrated that bullying and peer victimization sometimes include homophobic epithets directed at heterosexual and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. It appears that being at the receiving end of homophobic banter generally contributes to worse outcomes...

Codon 282 5*-TGGCAAGGGTAAACAGATCC The major histocompatibility complex class 1-like gene, HLA5*-CTCAGGCACTCCTCTCAACC H, was recently reported as being the candidate gene for the autosomal recessive disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). There is still no formal proof that HLA-H is the HH gene, Codon 63 5*-ACATGGTTAAGGCCTGTTGC but the evidence can be compelling, although it may not be 5*-GCCA...
